Tag Manager V2
-
Hi all! Do you have any great resources on Google Tag Manager Version 2? I'm looking for some help and I keep seeing info on V1, which looks pretty different. I'm having quite a bit of trouble implementing it correctly.
Thanks!

Thanks, Kane! Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I've taken a screenshot of a basic tutorial I've been reading. My question is where does the "Click ID" come from? I'm trying to track clicks to social media profiles, for example, or for when someone submits their email address (the contact form is javascript--doesn't redirect to a thank you page).
There is no "id" for the social media profile links, but there is a "class." My question is where does "smshrt" come from in the screen shot below? The author of this post gives no more information about his Click ID.

And the original URL: http://www.optimizesmart.com/beginners-guide-google-tag-manager-v2/

So that statement appears to be referring to a GTM event tracking tag. The filter means that when someone is on a specific page and clicks on a specific link, it will send an event to GA. I believe "Click ID" is referring to the HTML id tag for the element being clicked.
Send me the exact URL you're seeing that on and I can clarify further.

Thank you! I have a pretty basic question about this statement, which is one thing I've been struggling with with all these guides.
You also need to set up filters to specify when your link click trigger should fire. For example, I want to fire a tag on the page whose URL contains ‘/shop/men/shirts/’ and when the ‘Click ID’ is ‘smshrt’.
The 'Click ID' -- is it set up only in Google Analytics? Is there also somewhere in GTM to set that up as well? Or do I need to include it in the link's HTML on the site as well? I know GTM is designed so that marketers don't have to rely on getting into the code too much (and for some of my clients it's nearly impossible to get anything done in there).
Thanks for your help, everyone.

Fire a tag when element is loaded on page (Google Tag Manager)
I'm using an Element Visibility trigger to track a value that appears on a page. However, I want to track this value even when the user doesn't scroll to the area of the page where the element is (i.e. when the page is loaded, and the value is displayed below the fold, but the user doesn't scroll down there). Is there a way of doing this

Query on Implementing Product Impression Via Tag Manager?
Hi All, I have to implement Product Impression tracking as per this - https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/enhanced-ecommerce#product-impressions but In our product listing page we show 33 products in total. If we need to track the product impression of only those products which are visible currently in the screen. If we have 3 products in one row, then there should be 3 product impressions and when we do 2nd scroll then again 6 product impression and so on. How can we implement this? In this guide - https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/enhanced-ecommerce#product-impressions nothing mention like such things. In my case we I scroll the page on 1st scroll only 33 impression fall down even though I am able to see only 3 products. Hope you understood what I mean?

Title Tag Capitalization Impact on SERP Rankings and Click Through Rates
My company made a branding decision to use lowercase for all of our title tags. This, of course, means that our titles on SERPs are all lower case. Overwhelmingly, it seems that websites use title case. This makes me wonder if we're shooting ourselves in the foot. Does using lower case titles negatively impact our rankings and/or click through rates? Is there any data out there suggesting that title case has a better click through rate than lower case? Thanks for reading!

Does Installing Google Tag Manager Compromise Server Security?
Greetings MOZ community!!! Both my hosting company and developer have told me that in order to install Google Tag Manager it is necessary to disable the rule securing against malicious i-frame attacks in Mod Security and that this would leave the site (we operate on a virtual private server and out hosting company is InMotion Hosting) extremely vulnerable to attack. I can't believe that Google would write code that could allow potential security issues? Is this true? Does anyone know of a way to install GTM while maintaining site security? What functionality will we lose if we choose to stick with the old version of Google Analytics rather than upgrade? Thanks everyone!!!
